Transexuals get Olympic thumbs up.

What has the World come to, that can allow this.

A dude can do 10:20 for the 100 metres, can't compete with men so gets his schlong chopped off and runs in the Womens races, what's this all about?

I agree, this is very sad, and unfair.

yes and no...

“Hormonal therapy appropriate for the assigned sex has been administered in a verifiable manner and for a sufficient length of time to minimise gender-related advantages in sport competition.”

Men have higher levels of testosterone and greater muscle-to-fat ratio and heart and lung capacity. However, doctors say, testosterone levels and muscle mass drop after hormone therapy and sex-change surgery.

So it's hard to say if it will be unfair or not. Gonna have to wait and see.

And next up in the Javalin throw from Uganda, Michael... errrrrrr... I mean Michelle. 😀
